The Anticipation Is Killing Me: A Top Ten List

I’m too tired this week to come up with anything remotely amusing for this week’s list introduction. So I’ll leave it at this: I hate anticipation. Whoever said anticipation is the purest form of pleasure lied. Who likes to wait? Or be surprised? Or not know something? I can assure you it’s not me. Patience is not my most evident quality. Regardless, this week’s top ten list: top ten debuts to look forward to in 2014 (as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish). Just know that I’m excited to read them, though I’m not looking forward to the wait.

In no particular order, except no. 8 and no. 5 should be tied for no.1.

10. Ruby by Cynthia Bond.An “unflinching portrait of man’s dark acts and the promise of the redemptive power of love”. Hey, look at that, I included a novel about the redemptive power of love and didn’t even cringe.
